Line 11 reports what it paid for direct patient care furnished under contract, which the instructions define as nursing, diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative services. Both lines carry an hourly rate the facility calculates itself, and the premium here is one measured against the other.
The premium is the gap in hourly cost to the facility. It is not an agency profit margin, because the contract rate also carries the agency’s payroll taxes, insurance, credentialing and overhead, and the employed rate excludes the facility’s own benefits.
